2 Claims.

,This invention relates to slip covers for containers and has to do particularly with slip covers formed of paper or like material. 1

The invention has as an object, a slip cover 5 of the type referred to embodying a construction which permits particularly economical manufeature of theslip cover, and which adds materially to the rigidity. of the cover, and also provides a means for retaining the cover on the container.

The. invention consists in the novel features and inthe combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In describing this invention, reference is had.

to the accompanying drawing in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a slip cover embodying my invention and contiguous portion :0 of the container, the parts being shown in section. Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary detail view-o1 the slip cover partially constructed.

Figure 3 is a view, similar to Figure 2, showing the construction of the slip cover completed.

The embodiment of the slip cover shown is intended particularly for use with paper containers having" comparatively large capacity, commonly used for containers for bulk ice-cream. The ob- 50 ject of forming these containers of paper is to produce a more economical package, and inasmuch as the containers are used only once, the

cost of their construction must be nominal. However, the containers must be sumciently du- 85 rable and rigid to provide proper protection for a the contents of the container until the same is removed. The covers function only to protect the contents of the container until the container is inserted in its compartment in the soda fountain. Accordingly, a cover involving an expensive construction is prohibitive, yet the cover mustcompletely protect the contents of the container and be of such construction as not to become displaced during ordinary handling of the filled a container.

These containers comprise a cylindrical body portion II formed of fibrous material, such as paper-board, and to the upper end of which is secured-a ring member ll formed with a bead a depending flange M. This member is preferduce an inwardly extending bead ll.

'2 extending over the upper edge of the container body. A

The slip cover is formed of two members, one member comprising a discoidal portion 13 and ably drawn from a flat disk of material, that is the depending annular flange H is integral. with the discoidal portion iii. The second member of the construction consists of a ring member l5, likewise formed of paper material, encircling the periphery of the flange l4, it being of substantially greater length than the width of the flange ll forming a depending portion i6. Preferably, the inner surface of the ring member I5 is coated with adhesive, and the flange member 1 drawn therein to the position shown in Figure 2.

The depending portion l6 isthen folded inwardly upon itself with the edge of the unfolded portion abutting against the edge of the flange ll. The infolded portion is secured in folded position by the adhesive, and is formed as to pro- The ring member l5 forms a reinforcement for the flange l4, and the infolded extending portion forms an even. smooth edge for the slip cover, and the bead formation coacts with the bead I2 of the ring member secured to the top of the container body, and thus secures the slip cover to the container and prevents displacement of the cover in handling of the container. 1

What I claim is:

1. A slip cover for containers comprising a discoidal portion having a depending annular flange, a ring member encircling said flange and being secured thereto and extending beyond the edge of said flange, said extending portion of the ring member being folded inwardly upon itself with said infolded portion abutting against the edge of said flange andbeing secured to the inner side of the ring member.

2. A slip cover for containers comprising a discoidal portion having a depending annular flange, a ring member encircling said flange and being secured thereto and extending downwardly beyond the edge of said flange, said extending portion of the ring member being folded inwardly upon itself and formed with an inwardly extending bead and being secured by adhesive to the inner side of said ring member.
